“…The technologies in an MG include new concepts such as combined heat and power (CHP), MWTs, PV, microturbines or fuel cells, as well as consolidated technologies (synchronous generators driven by DC engines, single-phase and three-phase induction generators, or small hydro). A detailed description of these can be found in [8,[26][27][28][29].…”

“…), energy storage systems, and controllable loads, which can turn into a self-sufficient energy system. An MG can connect to or disconnect from public grids and operate connected or in island mode [4][5][6][7][8][9]. An MG mostly operates in grid-connected mode, but sometimes, there is low energy demand or faults in the public grid and the MG must change to island mode.…”

Towards Optimal Management in Microgrids: An Overview

A microgrid is a set of decentralized loads and electricity sources, mainly renewable. It can operate connected to and synchronized with a traditional wide-area synchronous grid, i.e., a macrogrid, but can also be disconnected to operate in “island mode” or “isolated mode”. When this microgrid is able to manage its own resources and loads through the use of smart meters, smart appliances, control systems, and the like, it is referred to as a smart grid. Therefore, the management and the distribution of the energy inside the microgrid is an important issue, especially when operating in isolated mode. This work presents an overview of the different solutions that have been tested during the last few years to manage microgrids. The review shows the variety of mature and tested solutions for managing microgrids with different configurations and under several approaches.

This paper gathers experiences and results from several demonstration projects in the field of grid integration of electric vehicles. The analyzed research projects are selected among research institutes and universities that are part of the European Energy Research Alliance Joint Program on Smart Grids. The paper provides an overview of recent trends in the field of electric vehicles integration issues and then dives deeper into specific aspects of each project. Twelve research projects are presented in general terms, while detailed information can be retrieved from the references and the websites. Although each project has its focus, a common element that can be devised is that the charging process can be technically controlled based on different interests and algorithms, but its role in the market is still under development. Particular focus is always given to the behavior of the user, which ultimately determines the possible level of flexibility that the electric vehicle can provide to the grid.

“…Therefore, this highlights the lack of environmental benefits in places where energy production systems depend mainly on coal. However, this transformation is not tied exclusively to technological improvements, but above all to man's willingness and readiness to change his habits [16][17][18]. The transition is unlikely to happen rapidly.…”

Assessment of the Impact of Electric Vehicles on the Design and Effectiveness of Electric Distribution Grid with Distributed Generation

et al. 2020

The objective of this paper is to assess the probable effect that electric vehicles (EVs), already in wide circulation and likely to increase exponentially in the near future, will have on distribution networks. Analyses are conducted on the necessary interventions and evolutions that the distribution grid will have to undergo in order to manage this new and progressively increasing heavy load of energy. Thus, in order to understand the technical limitations of the current infrastructure and how transformers and lines will be able to withstand the increasing penetration of EVs, urban and rural grid models have been studied, to highlight the differences between the impacts on high- and low-density networks. In addition, an analysis of fast charging station impact has been carried out. MATLAB software was used to perform the simulations for the creation of scripts, which were then exploited within the DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. This allowed evaluation of the networks under examination and verification of the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. In concluding based on findings, some methods of managing the distribution network to optimise the network parameters analysed in the study and a solution involving electric vehicles are recommended.
